Pros and Cons of Flat Roofs

Pros

Compared to other roofing types, flat roofs are the easiest to construct. Different to pitched roofs, they enable additional living areas with air conditioning.

They make extra space for air conditioning units, solar panels, and passive illumination options like skylights and tubes. They work well for greenhouses, additional outside living areas, and gardening.

They are a great design for areas with severe winds. Perhaps you simply adore the sleek, contemporary style.

Cons

Little to no attic or storage space is left beneath a flat roof. They don’t shed snow or water as well as pitched roofing does. They are more vulnerable to mold issues.

Depending on the materials used, they might not last as long between roof replacements and might need more upkeep for water drainage than pitched roofing.

Common Problems with Flat Roofs

There are several different explanations for why the flat roof of your house could occasionally face issues. These problems typically entail standing water.

This is water that accumulates on your roof for at least 48 hours, generally following a significant downpour, and it can start to seriously harm your home.

The usage of roof drains, skylights, parapets, and a variety of other penetrations are additional common causes of leaks. Although less often than the reasons previously listed, material scarcity is another problem that can seriously complicate the roof of your home.

Rubber membranes have the potential to detach from drip edges or parapet walls when they shrink.

This is why you need our top-notch roofing services! Our roofing business specializes in all flat roofing, metal roofing, roof leak detection, gutter installation, and more.

We also provide free estimates, so contact us for your residential and commercial roofing needs today and experience our great customer service and attention to detail.

    I have had the absolute BEST experience with Vista Roofing. I was looking for a roofing company at 9:30pm and did their online quote. Within a couple minutes I had a very accurate quote and a text from a real person letting me know they were available if I had any questions. Which i did, and i didn't expect an answer at 10pm, but they responded within minutes. Then they came out to my house when I was available, showed me the current state of my roof, gave me great advice on how to proceed, showed me their products, and gave me their cell phone number if I had any questions. The process took longer than I would've liked, but it wasn't Vista Roofings fault. They were always on top of everything, extremely knowledgeable about self pay and insurance claims, and they delivered a top notch product. Once we got the finances out of the way, they had everything ordered within a week and they got 2 roofs finished in one day. I also got 3 quotes from other roofing companies in Sumter. The competitions products were 30yr vs 50yr shingles, the service from the other 3 companies was like I was an inconvenience to them or they'd tell me that I didn't need to be home for them to do a quote but they'd make an appointment time, I'd show up 30 minutes early, and they didn't show. The price was cheaper for the other 3 quotes I got, but so was the product, the customer service, and the professionalism. For the price difference, to get an extra 20 years out of my roof, was a no brainer. Not to mention, Cody was always available to answer my questions (no matter the time of day)and never made me feel like I was annoying him or was a burden in anyway. These people at Vista Roofing know how to run a customer service based business to a "T". My advice is to stop stressing out over who you're going to get to do your roof and call Vista Roofing. You will NOT be disappointed with their product or service!

Types of Flat Roof Materials

Proudly serving Columbia, SC and surrounds, we only use the best roofing material to ensure that all our quality roofing services are delivered to the highest standards.

Let’s look at the three most commonly used roofing materials:

Modified Bitumen Roof

These roof systems are made from single- or double-ply asphalt sheets that overlap. They are either self-adhering or heat-applied. Modified bitumen is seen as a replacement for built-up roofs without any sticky tar.

Modified bitumen roofs can get a topcoat to seal out any cracks and effectively reflect sunlight.

Built-Up Roof (BUR)

Multiple layers of synthetic or natural roofing felt alternate with layers of hot-applied tar or asphalt in a BUR system. Typically, gravel is placed on top of a layer of heated asphalt.

The gravel shields the layers and aids in solar reflection.

Occasionally, a reflective coating is used in place of tar and gravel. This smelly, unclean roofing operation requires specialist equipment; it is not a DIY undertaking.

The roof becomes more sturdy but also heavier as additional layers are added. Since aluminum is generally the heaviest option, a sturdy roofing structure is required.

A built-up roof is still the most practical, efficient and dependable option when done correctly.

Single-Ply Membrane Roof

Of these three types of flat roofs, single-ply membrane systems, which are the most expensive, use flexible, waterproof sheets composed of synthetic materials.

The following list includes some of the most common single-ply membrane roof types.

• Thermoplastic olefin (TPO)
• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Ethylene propylene diene rubber, or EPDM

Like modified bitumen, systems like EPDM have been around for a long time and have shown to be just as robust. If a hole does occur, repairs are simple.

It is the single-ply membrane material that is utilized the most frequently. It is black and will absorb heat, which is a drawback.

A reflective coating can be added, however doing so raises the price.

No matter what you need, our contractors will sit down with you and discuss a new roof or an entire roof replacement – whatever it is. If you need a siding contractor, it can be good to know that we offer siding work, too.
